Berean Standard Bible
“What shall I say, O my son? What, O son of my womb? What, O son of my vows?”
Proverbs 31 opens with sayings of King Lemuel, which his mother taught him. Lemuel is not named elsewhere in Scripture, and some scholars think he was a king of a neighboring land, while others see a symbolic or alternative name for an Israelite king.
